We currently only offer our tours in English at this time. Although we translated our website into Chinese, Japanese and Korean so that guests from these countries can better understand our services, we do not currently have any tour guides that can speak these languages.
No. All of our guests ride pillion behind one of our driver/tour guides. It is illegal for foreigners to drive in Vietnam without a Vietnamese driver’s license. International drivers licenses are not recognized by the Vietnamese government.
We also do not recommend anyone not familiar with local traffic patterns and rules (or lack of rules) to attempt to drive in Vietnam. If you get into an accident most travel insurance companies will not cover you if you do not have a legal Vietnamese drivers license.
Riding pillion is a great way to relax and to safely see the city. All our female guides are fully licensed and have terrific driving records!
Driving a motorbike in Vietnam is not as dangerous as it looks. The driving speeds in the city are pretty low and most motorbike drivers are very good at avoiding each other.
The most important quality we look for when we hire our employees is driving ability, so all our guides are very safe drivers with excellent driving records.
Yes! We design our tours to be suitable for guests of all ages, and take children on our tours regularly. Parents trust Us to offer the safest possible experience for their children because our drivers are the best in the business! We are also the first motorbike tour company to provide accident insurance for all our guests!
Children 7 years and younger are allowed to share a single motorbike with one of our drivers and another adult. Children 8 years and older must sit on a separate motorbike with their own driver as required by Vietnamese law.
If given prior notice, we can adjust the dishes on our tours to accommodate almost any food restriction. Don’t like seafood – no problem. Vegetarians/Vegans we’ve also got you covered. We can also deal with gluten allergies, nut allergies, shellfish allergies, etc.
If you are allergic to fish however, we do not recommend booking our food tour as most dishes in Vietnam are marinated with generous amounts of fish sauce. If you’re allergic to fish sauce then the only safe dishes for you to eat are the vegetarian dishes.
Please let us know about your food restrictions, at the time you book your tour, so that we can prepare alternative options.
We run our tours in rain or shine. If it is raining heavily before the start of your tour however, we will delay the start time by 30 minutes . If it is not raining heavily and we feel that the road conditions are safe, then we will continue the tour as planned. We provide free high quality rain ponchos for all our guests.
If it starts to rain heavily during the tour and we have to cancel, then we will flag down a taxi to get you back to your hotel safely. You will only be charged for the time you spent on the tour.
Luckily, the rain showers in Ho Chi Minh City are usually short lived, so they haven’t affected our tours much in the past. During the rainy season (June-November) you should expect that it will rain everyday (usually in the afternoons). Most of our guests really enjoy their tour experience even in the rain however. Rest assured that our guides are expert drivers, and we will only continue with our tours if we feel that it is absolutely safe to do so.
We had a wonderful photo tour with traditional Aodai on. Thank you so much for all the arrangement of photo location, Aodai rental shop, frequent rides of taxi, and local seafood restaurant. I felt like you were guiding us for a whole day itinerary! My friend Rieko was also satisfied with your service. Originally we ordered one person at first, but you guys fully attended us to the last moment. We really appreciate your team! Looking forward to the photo data in near future. See you again in Saigon. Thank you again for the unforgettable photo tour!
